I think he's referring to the "Duddy probably had a better chin than Collins" comment, which is bordering on ridiculous. Freddie Roach ranks Collins as the best chin he's ever seen.
The Lady who was refereeing Wards fight seemed out of her debt. No warning for holding from either fighter and no warning for the Algerian for repeat offences on the blind side. She probably could not see it but thats because she was not moving around the ring. Micky Vann is a good ref for cheching the entire ring. just my 2 cents worth.
I'm hearing over 7,000 tickets have been sold with under a week to go to for Frampton and Martinez contest at the Odyessy. Great stuff:yep Donnelly comeback begins with Ulster title Ballymena Times Switch 'beyond IABA control' The Irish Independent Anthony Fitzgerald Prepared To Shock Andy Lee East Side Boxing Team Ireland Ready To Come To Grips With 2013 Saddo Boxing Walsh eager to fulfil American dream after next Olympics Irish Examiner
Can't wait to see how Lee performs against a pumped up Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald will throw the kitchen sink early at Lee. Will be interesting to see if Lee hops around with his footwork and boxes early.
this has prob been asked and answered a 100 times but i have not seen it why dose ireland not have a WSB team its not like we have no boxers at a high level or venues that could hold it , the only reason i can think of is the IABA just not pulling the finger out IMO its a quality product that can only promote the sport .
dont think the money is ther avona but it could sell if promoted right. anyone see wards fight, thought he got robbed myself as he won 4 rounds to 1 imo, the bodyshots he throws look sickening he will be a monster in the pros with the smaller gloves.
I didnt see it but from what I heard he was sloppy as **** and got involved in a needless scrap. I'll hae to see for it myself.
I thought he lost the first round but the second he lost on volume of punches. Definitely had his opponent hurt 2nd round and I think also in teh 4th or 5th. It was a great learning fight for him (the result is not really important in the grand shceme of his career):good
Ward's fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mQy2i-s2ao&list=PL61Eyk2IZtYITI6mvj1tDqS8t1htCmvdF Anto Fitz interview in the Irish Sun tomorrow. He's pretty frank about his chances. He WILL win. Glad he didn't hold it against me though for saying he wouldn't.
